HVAC Design Strategies to Reduce Data Center Cooling Costs

Not only are cooling costs for data centers already red hot and rising with energy prices, they are impacted by continual changes in IT equipment and racks. According to ENERGY STAR, the energy required for a data center’s cooling is 10 times greater than that required for other buildings regardless of climate region. These HVAC design strategies will show you how to reduce data center cooling costs.
